Undisputed

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 3 (Vermeer) architecture, fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm process. It operates at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boosts up to 4.60 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The CPU supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration, offering 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and provides PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU. It sits in the 79th percentile among all CPUs in the benchmark database, with an average benchmark score of 27,578.

In synthetic multi-threaded tests, the 5700X scores 6,858 in 3DMark's 16-thread test and 6,850 in the max-threads test, while the single-thread score is 921. Cinebench R23 results show 13,184 multi-core and 1,499 single-core. These figures indicate a processor that balances strong multi-threaded throughput with respectable single-core capability, though not at the very top of either category.

For Undisputed, a boxing sports title, the CPU requirements are moderate. The game's physics and AI logic depend on single-thread performance, but the 5700X's 8 cores provide ample headroom for background tasks and streaming. The measured frame rates at 1080p Low reach 476 FPS average, which is far beyond what the game engine can realistically demand. At 1080p Ultra, the average drops to 183 FPS, still well above typical 60 Hz displays. The CPU is not the bottleneck in any tested configuration; even at the lowest resolution and settings, the frame rate is limited by the GPU or game engine rather than the processor.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 7 5700X is essentially performance-parity in aggregate benchmarks. The Intel Core i5-12600K matches it exactly at an average score of 27,578 (0% delta). The AMD Ryzen 7 5800 trails by 0.2% at 27,535, while the Ryzen 5 7600X is 0.2% ahead at 27,636. The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H is 0.3% behind at 27,507. These differences are within measurement noise, meaning the 5700X delivers competitive compute performance for this game's CPU-bound tasks.

The 32 MB of shared L3 cache is a notable asset for gaming. Boxing simulations with many interactive entities and physics calculations can benefit from cache locality, reducing memory latency. The 5700X's 16 threads also allow the game engine to offload non-critical tasks, such as audio or crowd simulation, without impacting the main game loop. In practice, the CPU contribution to Undisputed's FPS is minimal—the results show that even at 4K Ultra, the frame rate is governed by the GPU, not the processor.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD103 chip, fabricated on TSMC's 5 nm process. It packs 10,240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs, alongside 80 ray tracing cores and 320 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2295 MHz and boosts to 2550 MHz, with memory running at 1438 MHz (23 Gbps effective). It features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The card is rated at 320 W TDP and requires a 700 W power supply, occupying a triple-slot form factor with a single 16-pin power connector.

In the benchmark database, the RTX 4080 SUPER sits in the 86th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54,209. Its PassMark G3D score is 34,245, and it achieves 19,822 in GPU compute. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test yields 6,600, indicating strong modern rasterization performance.

For Undisputed, the GPU is the dominant factor in determining frame rates, particularly at higher resolutions and settings. The 16 GB VRAM is more than sufficient for this game's textures and effects at 4K Ultra, and the high memory bandwidth ensures no stutter from texture streaming. The boost clock of 2550 MHz provides the raw compute needed to maintain high FPS even when the game pushes many on-screen characters and dynamic lighting.

Comparing to its nearest GPU rivals, the RTX 4080 SUPER is marginally behind the standard RTX 4080 by 0.1% (54,242 vs 54,209 average score). The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is 1.1% ahead at 54,828, while the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB and Radeon 8060S lead by 2.7% and 2.8% respectively (55,698 and 55,757). These deltas are small, but they indicate the 4080 SUPER is positioned at the lower end of its immediate performance class in aggregate benchmarks. However, in real gaming scenarios, the 4080 SUPER's strengths—particularly its ray tracing and DLSS support—may not be fully captured by these synthetic scores.

The GPU's role in Undisputed is clearly visible in the measured FPS. At 4K Ultra, the average is 83 FPS, while at 4K Low it jumps to 218 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a 62% reduction in frame rate (from 218 to 83), which is a direct consequence of increased pixel shading and texture work. The RTX 4080 SUPER's 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 compute (and matching FP16 at 1:1 ratio) provides the horsepower to keep these settings playable, but the Ultra preset still demands significant GPU resources.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling. At 1080p Low, the average is 476 FPS; at 1440p Low, it drops to 344 FPS (-28%); and at 4K Low, it falls to 218 FPS (-37% from 1440p, -54% from 1080p). This steep decline with resolution indicates the GPU is the limiting factor even at Low settings—if the CPU were the bottleneck, we would see diminishing FPS differences at higher resolutions.

The High settings show a similar trend: 284 FPS at 1080p, 205 FPS at 1440p (-28%), and 130 FPS at 4K (-37% from 1440p, -54% from 1080p). The consistent percentage drops across settings suggest that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are being taxed proportionally as pixel count increases. The 4K resolution has four times the pixels of 1080p, yet the FPS does not quarter—indicating that some component (likely the CPU or engine) is preventing the GPU from being fully utilized at lower resolutions.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is less steep: 183 FPS at 1080p, 132 FPS at 1440p (-28%), and 83 FPS at 4K (-37% from 1440p, -55% from 1080p). The 4K Ultra result of 83 FPS is well above playable thresholds, but the relative drop from 1440p is similar to other settings. This suggests that the Ultra preset introduces shader complexity that scales with resolution, but the GPU still has headroom at 1080p where it could push higher if the CPU allowed.

The Medium settings include min and max FPS data: at 1080p Medium, the range is 291-394 FPS with an average of 343; at 1440p Medium, 211-285 FPS with an average of 248; and at 4K Medium, 133-180 FPS with an average of 157. The minimum FPS at 4K Medium (133) is above the 60 Hz threshold, meaning even in demanding scenes the game remains fluid. The frame time consistency is good, with the min-to-max spread being roughly 25-30% of the average at each resolution.

The conclusion from this scaling is unambiguous: the RTX 4080 SUPER is the primary performance driver, and the Ryzen 7 5700X is more than capable of feeding it. The FPS drops are almost perfectly linear with pixel count, which is the signature of a GPU-limited scenario. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would see FPS plateaus at lower resolutions—that does not occur.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ranks 315th out of 3,718 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the top 8.5% of all configurations. This rank reflects the GPU's dominance in this title—the 4080 SUPER's high-end positioning ensures that even with a mid-range CPU, the combo outperforms the vast majority of systems.

The rank of 315 out of 3,718 means that 3,403 other combos are slower, while 314 are faster. Given that the 4080 SUPER sits at the 86th percentile among GPUs and the 5700X at the 79th percentile among CPUs, the combo's overall rank is slightly higher than the GPU percentile alone would suggest. This is because Undisputed is heavily GPU-bound, so the CPU's lower percentile has less impact on the final ranking.

The nearest GPU rival comparisons are instructive. The RTX 4080 SUPER is only 0.1% behind the standard RTX 4080 in aggregate benchmarks, yet in Undisputed, the combo rank does not distinguish between these GPUs—the rank is based on the specific CPU+GPU pairing. If paired with a faster CPU, the same GPU could achieve a higher rank, but the 5700X does not hold the 4080 SUPER back in this game. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra (83 FPS) is already at the upper limits of what a 60 Hz display needs, so any extra CPU headroom would be wasted.

The combo's rank also benefits from the game's optimization. Sports titles like Undisputed often have lower CPU overhead than open-world games, allowing mid-range processors to keep up with flagship GPUs. The 5700X's 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with its 32 MB L3 cache, provide sufficient single-thread performance for the game's AI and physics, while the 4080 SUPER handles the rendering workload.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS across all resolutions and settings, the optimal preset depends on the display's refresh rate and resolution. At 1080p, all presets deliver well above 60 FPS: Low averages 476 FPS, Medium 343 FPS, High 284 FPS, and Ultra 183 FPS. Even at Ultra, the frame rate is high enough for 144 Hz displays, so players with 1080p monitors can safely choose Ultra for maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness.

At 1440p, the situation is similar but with slightly tighter margins. Low averages 344 FPS, Medium 248 FPS, High 205 FPS, and Ultra 132 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p still exceeds 120 FPS, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Medium preset's min FPS of 211 ensures no dips below 200 FPS, which is excellent for competitive play if the game had such a mode.

At 4K, the choice becomes more nuanced. Low averages 218 FPS, Medium 157 FPS, High 130 FPS, and Ultra 83 FPS. For a 60 Hz display, all settings are playable, but Ultra's 83 FPS average is the only one that might dip below 60 FPS in heavy scenes (though the min FPS for Medium is 133, and Ultra has no min data). For 120 Hz 4K displays, Medium is the best choice—it averages 157 FPS with a minimum of 133, ensuring no frame drops below 120. High at 130 FPS average is also viable, but the min FPS is not recorded, so Medium offers the safest margin.

The best overall experience per the measured data is Medium at 4K or Ultra at 1440p, depending on display capabilities. Medium provides the best balance of visual quality and frame rate stability, as evidenced by its consistent min FPS values across resolutions. If a player prioritizes maximum fidelity, Ultra at 1440p delivers 132 FPS average, which is still excellent. For those with 4K 60 Hz displays, Ultra is acceptable, but High (130 FPS) offers more headroom against frame drops.
